Would have made a excellent demo car!

Definitely the Catalina.

im jealous that thing is badass

Beautiful car

That grill in front is from an Aries. The Reliant's had a different grill.

Love the way the AC was installed by the factory back then

Same body as my 1966 Impala

I have wanted one of those for decades

That's a very interesting and unusual car to find intact in a junkyard. Most that still exist are gone beyond any help. Yours looks like it's definitely worth some body and paint work, while cleaning up and keeping the original finish, which appears to be very good overall. I question why you didn't remove both valve covers, even though you eventually suspected valve actuation problems. The engine appeared to be firing through the carburetor--a sign that an intake valve was open while the fuel was burning. Backfiring usually indicates that an exhaust valve is open while the mixture is still under combustion. Additionally, the timing chain on the 1965-1971 Pontiac V-8s used an aluminum cam gear that had a nylon covering fused to it. The nylon is notorious for stripping away at about 90k miles--sometimes less. If necessary, always replace them with a steel gear. Instead of using the Edelbrock intake manifold, you might have considered reusing the original 2-bbl intake with a rebuilt Rochester 2-bbl carb. They have a high CFM rating, they're plentiful, easy to rebuild, and the kits are readily available. The money saved could have gone for all new lifters. Also, it's important to check the rocker arms and pivot balls for galling. As far as the vinyl top goes, it appears to be original, with the stainless moldings it has. Just remove it completely, as cracked, dried out vinyl acts as a sponge for water. Don't worry about the surface underneath, as GM primed and painted the roofs even on vinyl top-equipped cars. My comments aren't meant to belittle you or the success you have accomplished on that classic Pontiac that someone simply "threw away". I worked on these engines from 1971 until the late '90s, as the "resident mechanic" for my family's and my Pontiac Lemans, GTO and Firebirds. They're very robust and reliable engines, but they are much different from Chevy small blocks. Thanks for the presenting your interesting, informative video.

Is that a 400 Pontiac?

I love 4 Dr hardtop. I'd own this Catalina.

Cool car😊

🔉🎵🎵That's the sound of the man ... working on the chain Gang

Good video!

Yikes!

Is it safe to assume that this was videotaped months ago, look what they're wearing

Awesome car! Who would scrap that in this day in age?

Pontiac doesn't use locking type rocker arm nuts like the small/ big block Chevys. They're torqued down to 25 lb-ft.

I had a light blue 85 wagon.

Old car nut here. 😊. That beauty wants and deserves to be loved back to nice driving condition. Would reward the effort with saving a neat car!

I would have drug it home. Great find.

I am sure that by now you have discovered the 460 and 462 have different bellhousing bolt patterns.

There are only a handful of people in the country who work on those tops because they are super complicated

The 924's are notorious for the A pillar cracking right where the door hinges bolt on. If left go too long it causes major issues with closing the doors

Newbie here! Funny video! Retired gives me time to watch car videos and I just started watching Vice Grip Garage. Now I’ll start watching you! Thanks for the work in making these cars run and the video editing.

On the bent push rod, I usually snap a pair of vice grips on them sideways and then hit the vice grip upwards with a hammer. Never had a problem doing it that way. You're gonna toss the bent rod anyway.

Somebody's been under that hood tinkering. The Accel coil, new radiator upper hose and I'm sure there's more that I can't see on camera.

Sounds like a rod knock Pontiac are good for that

Small block checy lifters will work in Pontiacs

If it had heads changed Pontiacs ran bottle neck studs, you just run them down and torqe them. To make the adjustable Pontiac used to sell hardened washers that put on top of the rocker ball then you install crimped SBC nuts and you Pontiac has adjustable ricker arms.

Flat cam, rocker arm or spring

WE WANT PART 2 ,, GREAT CAR...

THESE ARE GREAT LOOKING CARS ,, MY SON MAX 9 YR.S OLD LIKES THE GRILL NOSE ON THESE CARS ,, WE ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO FOR THE FIRST TIME .. THX. PEACE...
